You Can Heal Your Life with Prayer BeadsWhy Should You Use a Rosary or Prayer Beads? I wouldn't doubt that many of you reading this page are considering this very question. Why use beads at all? Although many Catholics are familiar with beads, known as rosaries, many others have yet to experience the miracles of prayer with beads. The use of beads in prayer is an ancient practice that is still practiced today in many cultures and religions. How strong is your prayer life? Does it seem like your own prayer life is as strong as you would like? If not, you are in good company. Many people feel like their prayer life is less than healing. Praying with beads just might be your ticket to success! Counting beads during prayer has been used for many centuries and througout many cultures and religions. It is a tool. This is why I enjoy all forms of prayer beads-the rosary, the hand-held beads, the necklaces, bracelets and others. I'm not the same every day, and neither are my prayer beads. I also enjoy the different colors and textures. Each suit and set a mood for me. What is important is that I pray-not how I do it. Holding beads helps me make that connection with God easier. How do you tap into the miraculous powers?You Can Heal Your Life with Prayer Beads-Creating an open dialogue with God I'm going to use the term God because this is most familiar to me. Feel free to substitute the term most fitting for your own belief system and that feels right to you-the Universe, Jesus, Higher Power and so on. When it comes to prayer, there are no limits or boundaries. An open dialogue with God opens our eyes so that we can become who we're truly meant to be. When we are in personal dialogue with God (and that means being open to listening, also!) all the possibilities of our lives open up in front of us. It is difficult to get there without prayer and meditation. This is prayer with reverence, grace, honesty and humility. It is devoted prayer-not the quick prayer while you are really thinking about something else. We all know people who seem to know how to pray and feel that they are 'well connected.' It comes naturally to them, whether they are in quiet prayer or group prayer. It seems to just pour from the heart naturally. I applaud them, and I dare say, I envy them, at times. Others, like me, struggle to maintain that good connection and yet others, don't feel a connection at all! I propose a way to enhance your prayer life with beads-the beads of YOUR choice. You Can Heal Your Life with Prayer Beads Your prayer life and journey of faith is unique to only you. I pose possibilities, but you hold the map. Some people rarely consider the existance of a higher power, God or anything bigger than themselves. Yet, others have spent their lives devoted to God. No matter, at some point in time, each of us has looked up and asked 'why?' or begged for help. My hope is that you will look through this website and imagine a world-your world-filled with peace, love and joy. Prayer that fills you, rejuvenates you and rebuilds your peace and joy even when you've felt tapped out can heal your life. Prayer helps to keep that cup filled to the brim no matter what else is going on.
